Wii MotionPlus demoed in 3D, with lightsaber

Posted in Wii by Conner Flynn on July 30th, 2008


The company that worked with Nintendo on the MotionPlus controller add-on, has now released a video that demonstrates the capabilities of the new hardware using 3D tools called LiveMove2. Turns out that the 1:1 tracking is really 1:1. Also the response time is pretty instant.

Before you know it they’re playing with lightsabers and fighting off Seeker Drones, then tossing around a 3D dummy with the lightsaber. All in all a lot of fun. The end result is that this technology can map incredibly complex motions to even more specific commands then before. It’s pretty damn impressive.

    This truly is impressive! I wish Lucas Arts would realize the potential of a FPS on the Wii that uses lightsabers.
